  1. My wife and I have had the car since new. Our son helped pick it out when he was two. Just like having it around, even if only used as a spare.
  2. My 2.5 appears to want to lunch itself. Has anyone dropped a 3.0 0r 3.6 into a 2nd gen? If yes, any advice on doing the same? If no, any thoughts on what version / year model would work best to match up to '99 electronics? I assume I'd need the ECU from the donor vehicle or a stand alone. Thanks for any help!
  3. Replaced the $2.00 plastic brake light switch grommet and the $200 clock spring switch assembly I destroyed while looking for the reason my battery was draining. Live & learn.
  4. You nailed it. Found the bits of the plastic piece in the footwell, looks like the top of a blue crayon. $1.99 from Subaru. Cheap fix except for the time I spent taking apart and putting back together the steering column. Live & learn!!!
  5. Got a similar problem but with an added twist. The cruise control has stopped working - light in the dash switch comes on as before, but as others have said no "click" when setting the cruise. In addition the switch on top of the steering column that controls the rear "fog" lights does not turn off the lights. The brighter lights stay on all the time draining the battery. Just discovered this today so will begin trouble shooting in a minute. Any thoughts on what's going on? My first thought is something inside the steering column has come loose or busted. Thanks - '99 Outback wagon with automatic & 2.5 engine. More info: All fuses good Got switch from top of steering column out - much fun - jumped all possible combinations for the 3 terminals - tail/brake lights stay on. Noticed high mounted third brake light is also on. Is this correct for the column switch? Maybe my actual brake light switch is broken/staying on? Planning on going to pick-a-part tomorrow morning to get a cruise control switch, but if car thinks brakes are depressed that could be the problem. Any help much appreciated.
